I'm guessing another setup episode. Ever since The Promise the bar has been raised. Two weeks ago was a fantastic episode, but I was still looking for more sizzle. It was largely still setup for future events.

By the way, how the hell did Slade know about the identity of Thea's real father? The cameras he placed in the mansion weren't in there until after Felicity visit Moria and had that talk regarding the entire subject. And Oliver had moved out of the house.

WOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW we are in for a treat tonight. I saw a clip from the newest episode. I actually thought the other day if they went with a certain approach it would be interesting, but I doubt it happened. And it happens. Looks cool. Definitely a Batman: Knightfall kind of moment.

Nice episode. Looks like we'll be getting Vibe and Killer Frost in the Flash TV series. At least in some capacity. Those scenes in this Arrow session felt a little forced-in and out of place. We find out that they are friends of Felicity, but it just seems that if they wanted that little tie-in, a better job could of have been done. But then again, it's just a mini tie-in segment so it's not that big of a deal.

Now it's clear how Slade knew about Thea's true father. I was hoping that wasn't going to be a huge plot hole that isn't explained. A little surprising that Oliver didn't decide to take a few more pot shots at Slade while he had him down due to the trick arrow.

Oliver seems pretty certain that this cure for the Mirakuru will work. He said that Ivo did it. He can't just take Ivo's word for it and seeing as Slade obviously wasn't cured it made me think that the cure must've worked on someone else.

It's a bit out there but I think island Oliver may have used some Mirakuru on himself in order to level the playing field against Slade. Oliver also mentioned that he was ashamed because he chose to "kill" Slade instead of using the cure. I think that only someone who wasn't in the right frame of mind would've chosen that option. Someone who was a tad angrier than they normally would be. Someone affected by the Mirakuru. What if he was also ashamed that he had taken the Mirakuru in the first place.

The only way Oliver would know for certain that the cure works would be if it was previously successfully used. Used on him.
